I know some of you don't understand why people do this to a watch, I really like the look. The member who did this for me is a great guy. Great communication and fast service. I've already commissioned another piece from him.

So, what do you think?

Looks good. Not my style (as in beat vintage look) but it looks natural.

THIS is why reps are just plain fun.

Enjoy the new look. :)

As you have asked what we think, I think it's horrible and can't understand why you would want to do this. Well you did ask.

Well, here is one reason. Whenever I purchase a watch, be it gen or rep I want it in perfect condition. As soon as I get the first scratch or ding in it I feel like I want to throw the watch away. The little scrape or scratch drives me crazy. So when I get a vintage watch, it's already beat. So if I do something to it, either I can't notice or don't care. I think its some kind of disorder. Lol.

If it was a sixty year old watch with a story I'd find it appealing. But the distressed fashion thing is not appealing to me.

Glad you like it though.

I think it looks sweet, Not sure if I would do that to one of my watches but I would certanly buy one already "Vintaged".
